Make your Breakfast Count. Sit Down for Breakfast, Stand Up for Farmers

Have a “Break 4 T” with Greg Valerio MBE Listen to Greg tell his story of the journey towards the certification of Fairtrade gold.

“How is it that 150 million small-scale miners earn less than $2USD a day? How can it be that the people of the land do not receive the wealth of their land? Instead this wealth flows principally to transnational stock market listed companies and brands, whose only care is for their profit margins. The conceit of luxury jewellery is to ignore this injustice at its source. This is why we need fair trade in jewellery.” Greg Valerio.
